Work it

Hard at work, or hardly working.  Sometimes I just don't know.

Remember the collar-obsessed posts from early this year?

Which resulted in this, this, and this.

I've decided to incorporate it into some recent work...a little crop top, golden glittered pockets, and a pair of denim flares.  Voila.

Even though we're STILL waiting for our belongings - it's been over 3 months living out of suitcases - I made sure I traveled with the necessities:

- markers (an invaluable gift from L...thank you) and all portfolio-related goodies

- a handful of items I've made on Sewchique

- and all my bikinis

It's amazing how easy it is to live life with just the basics!

Collars, I digress

Collars again.  I just had to share this, found it from my friend S.

Several posts back I had contemplated making a leather collar (no, Dirty Mind, not that kind of collar).  The desire is reignited!  I will revisit.

A little black with blue

 

P.S. Happy Women's Day

What do you see

How did you fair on my Rorschach test?

Collars galore

So I had this great idea of finding a simple pattern for a collar online.  And make it out of this piece of leather that I bought at Libra Leather years ago.

Imagine how cool that would look!

But I guess collar patterns aren't as lazily easily found online (and I could just make my own) and then I found this guy's blog malepatternboldness and guess what he made...a detachable collared shirt!  Turns out menswear has always had shirts with detachable collars (btw I don't think this is really Dior).

And womenswear a la Miu Miu Spring 2010 has had plenty of mileage there too!  Wow I know so little about collars.  I am humbled.

Neck things

I really love the black leather collar (but I can't remember where I found it!!...H&M Catalogue or maybe asos).  The other two are from Pixie Market and Of a Kind.

This is also in the vein of what I'm going to work on this week!  But I don't know exactly what it'll be yet!
